Latest Update - Continue Watching Limited to 9

[dekekun 2]

Since the latest Emby Theatre update, when in TV mode, the continue watching section seems limited to 9 shows. 

We regularly have more than 9 shows on the go at once, so this sucks compared to the previous. 

I've crawled through the settings and can't find how to change this. Setting the image and text size smaller still gives 9, just in a more awkward layout. 

Is there any way to get the old number back?

Sorry I realise I'm using the wrong language - Emby for Windows (not Theatre)

Can you view them all in web view on a browser?

Emby for windows is mirroring what you see there.

If you turn tv mode off can you see them? Are you sure your remote or similar simply isn’t scrolling further right?

If TV mode is on it only shows the 9. 

If TV mode is off, then I can scroll the section to the right as far as I need and see 16 items in that section. 

This behaviour is the same regardless of web or Emby Windows app, which I've only just realised - I don't usually use the web as a viewer.

How does the web app compare in TV mode?

[dekekun 2]

As mentioned above, in either application (web or 'for windows') in TV mode the continue watching section is hard limited to 9 rows, a change from a few weeks ago where it held 18.

There is no limit of 9 anywhere. Are you sure you have more than that to display?

[dekekun 2]

Yes I'm certain. 

If I disable TV mode, there are many more there. And as mentioned, prior to the most recent update the section was larger. 

Also if I add a new episode to a series we're watching and its ahead in the "queue" it makes the options update as expected, and we see shows drop off the "back" of the displayed queue, only to re-appear if a show is ticked off/watched, so I'm certain there is more here than is being displayed.

Im not experiencing that in TV mode across 3 different PC's on 2 different servers.

I wasn't either until just over a week ago, an updated UI rolled out (buttons are rounder? some other very minor graphical changes) and since then -> this.

I can chime in that in TV Mode set to Horizontal on Windows app mine is also limited to 9 "Continue Watching" options. This is the case in both TV Shows and Movies.

"Latest Movies" and "Latest Episodes" are also both limited to 9. I think it used to be 10? Really noticeable because they're uneven rows. Top row has five posters shown, and the bottom only has four, leaving a large empty space being wasted.

If it is set to Vertical, there is one combined Continue Watching section that is NOT limited to 9. Latest Movies and Latest Shows are also not limited to 9 in Vertical.

Same update also changed these options in Horizontal layout to look like this.

They used to feature movie/show images and looked a lot better. How they look now really breaks up the layout in an ugly way. They look like broken options that aren't loading correctly.

OK yes we'll look at improving this. Thanks.
